Bridgman법에 의해 $CdIn_2Te_4$ 단결정 성장과 광발광 특성

Photoluminescience Properties and Growth of $CdIn_2Te_4$ Single crystal by Bridgman method

The p-CIn2Te4 single crystal was grown in the three-stage vertical electric furnace by using Bridgman method. The quality of the grown crystal has been investigated by the x-ray diffraction and the photoluminescence measurements. From the photoluminescence spectra of the as-grown CdIn2Te4 crystal and the various heat-treated crystals, the (Do, X) emission was found to be the dominant intensity in the photoluminescence spectrum of the CdIn2Te4:Cd, while the (Ao, X) emission completely disappeared in the CdIn2Te4:Cd. However, the (Ao, X) emission in the photoluminescence spectrum of the CdIn2Te4:Te was the dominant intensity like an as-grown CdIn2Te4 crystal. These results indicated that the (Do, X) is associated with VTe acted as donor and that the (Ao, X) emission is related to VCd acted as acceptor, respectively. The p-CdIn2Te4 crystal was found to be obviously converted into the n-type after annealing in the Cd atmosphere. The origin of (Do, Ao) emission and its TO phonon replicas is related to the interaction between donors such as VTe or Cdint, and accepters such as VCd or Teint. Also, the In in the CdIn2Te4 was confirmed not to form the native defects because it existed in the stable form of bonds.
